MaceX Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I can't find how to change the new tab key to something other than the middle mouse button. It's so annoying trying to scroll down the page, only to have a bunch of new tabs open. how do i change it to some other button or just disable it?

tp2215 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Use the keyconfig extension, it enables you to re-arrange all the keyboard shortcuts,, not to shore about the new tab key cause i personally dont use the extension but have a try... http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?s...board+shortcuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle mouse button opens new tabs over links right? I want to disable that or change that function to a new key or button. I'm very suprised there is apparently no way to change this functionality. I guess changing the source code and recompiling it is the only way to fix this. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gur713 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 the only way to stop the middle click button to open links in new tabs is if you chang browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick to false but they will open in new windows why do u want to change it anyways? cant u use ctrl click?

God I hate this browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gur713 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 what else could you possible change it too? anyways like i said set browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick and middlemouse.openNewWindow to false then u can use ctrl-click to open links in new tabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaceX Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 i finally fixed it by looking in browser.js and commenting out some stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
